He Didn't Believe IN Prohibition.

prohibition is running Kansas,
said long, hungry-looking Missouri
ian with a hungry-looking black
dog) to Capital" reporter. i've
been trying to sell my dog there for
hundred and fifty dollars, but no
one in Kansas will buy him. Yet
he's one of the best bird dogs you
ever saw, but fellows here in Kan
say they don't want the birds killed,
and that they have something else
to do besides hunting birds. That
all comes from prohibition, for it
makes cranks Of everybody. Down
in Missouri | can get two hundred
dollars for that dog, but | aint got
any money to pay my way back
home.
II went down on Kansas avenue
this morning to see a contractor to
get job overseeing the ''niggers
working for him on the street, but he
said he did not need overseers but if
| would pitch in with good spade
he'd give me $3.50 day. I told
him | was a southern gentleman, also
that my father was an old slave
owner and I'd die before Id work
with ''niggers," but Id oversee his
"nigger" hands and save him lots Of
money, for I'd dock 'em for so much
lost time there would be but little
money coming to them on pay day.
He said that would not be honest
and that he believed in paying mig
gers for their labor just the same as
to white men.
Stranger, that made me mad and il
| had had money enough to pay my
fine I'd knocked the fool contractor
down, for he was preaching 'social
equality" to me and it allus makes
southern gentleman's blood boil
when any one talks about treating
niggers like white folks.
Yes, stranger, I am going to skin
out to old Missouri, and if ever
leave her agin I'll 90 to Arkansav
or Texas. see.if l don't, for | want
no prohibition in mine.
